Once a runner crosses the plain it's a TD there. If the balls knocked out its not a fumble.
But to be a runner you have to have control of the ball first before you cross the plane, right? Otherwise, you are in the process of a catch, and you must complete the catch.
If OBJ hadn't left his feet, I would agree it was a catch. But he didn't.

I'm 100% sure that if the OBJ play happened on the half-yard line it would have been ruled a TD. If he is pulling it down with both feet in bounds, but the ball is knocked out as he moves the ball towards his body across the pylon, I'm confident they would have ruled a TD. Even if they play happened at the goal line and he had possession across the goal line they would have ruled it a TD.
IMO the reason they went by the book with the catch definition in this case was because it was near the sideline.
